Oven-Baked Sliders. Sliders made in the oven retain the same consistency as their fried counterparts, but they require less attention while cooking, leaving you time to arrange the buns and toppings while they cook. Shape the meat for your sliders into 2-inch patties and arrange them on a baking sheet sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
Generally only mammals have an epiglottis. Therefore dogs, humans, cats, cows (etc) can all be mentioned as examples. Reptiles have an analogous structure, which serves the same function but does not have cartilage in it. See he related link below for more information.
Back to TopCauses. The epiglottis is a stiff, yet flexible tissue (called cartilage) at the back of the tongue. It closes your windpipe (trachea) when you swallow so food does not enter your airway. This helps prevent coughing or choking after swallowing. Swelling of the epiglottis is usually caused by the bacteria Haemophilus influenzae (H. influenzae). It may also be due to other bacteria or viruses that can cause upper respiratory infections. Epiglottitis is now very uncommon because the H. influenzae type B (Hib) vaccine is a routine childhood immunization.
